Stop cutting Social Security for seniors. We have a hard time as it is. Please!

Congress has been failing to work with results in mind, and each party is blaming the other, focusing on mud slinging and party positioning instead of leadership for the good of all. When Congress fails to do their job and defaults to something like a sequester why should others pay the consequence while they remain immune to that which they themselves caused?

We ask you to sign our petition to have the temple board consider Kate as a candidate for the rabbi postion. We feel it is unfair to exclude her from consideration as a candidate.

I'm one of many senior citizens who depends on Social Security and Medicare to maintain a style of living that keeps me from being homeless and destitute.

I am a disabled veteran that is currently living on a pension and Social Security Disability. the Ryan budget, that the President now supports would cut these benefits and cause personal hardship to everyone currently in my position.

They plan to cut our Social Security benefits. That is unfair. I have to pay my own medicine. How can I afford it if you cut Social Security benefits?

Imagine returning from your honeymoon only to be called into your pastor's office and told you're banned from volunteering in church ministries, simply because you got married. Nicholas Coppola is a member of St. Antony's Roman Catholic Church in Oceanside, New York, where he used to lead religious education classes, serve as a lector, and visit homebound parishioners. Nicholas is gay and has been out to everyone at church for years -- a number of parishioners even attended his wedding. But after Nicholas got married, someone sent an ugly anonymous note to the bishop and suddenly he was banned from volunteering at church. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops claims they're not anti-gay. Just this week their spokeswoman wrote that "No one is carded at a Catholic Church. Shunning is not the Catholic tradition." Now Nichoas Coppola's bishop has an opportunity to prove it.

SS is the only form of income every thing keeps going up. The cost of living need to be based on every day purches

stop taking funds from poor and increase payroll social security tax deductions out of their payroll checks on the wealthy.

Protecting the health and well-being of seniors who have paid into the social security and medicare trust funds for decades has not and will not harm the economy. There are changes that can be made -- allowing Medicare to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, for example -- but cutting benefits is unacceptable. Chained CPIs and raising recipients' age requirements are ways of cutting benefits.

I'm concerned that instead of the "Citizen" representatives that our founders' intended ,Congress is full of "Professional"non-caring self-centered individuals who are controlled by lobbyists and devote their time to re-election instead of the 'People's business".

Autistic children need more support!
